Almond prices fell by Rs 100 per 40 kg at the wholesale dry fruits market today on adequate stocks positions following increased imports amid sluggish demand.

Elsewhere, other dry fruits prices moved in a tight range in the absence of worthwhile buying activity to increase in mercury and settled around previous levels. Traders said sluggish demand against increased supplies mainly helped almond prices to trade lower.

In the national capital, almond (California) fell by Rs 100 to Rs 11,150 per 40 kg, while its kernel lost Rs 10 to settle at Rs 380-385 per kg.

Following are today's quotations per 40 kg:

Almond (California) new Rs 11,150 Almond (gurbandi-new) Rs 4,600-4,700 almond (girdhi) Rs 2,400-2,500 and Abjosh Afghani Rs 7,000-16,000

Almond kernel in per kg (California) Rs 380-385, almond kernel (gurbandi-new) (kg) Rs 310-385
